Tomato - Oxheart

Solanum lycopersicum

Oxheart tomato seeds let you grow a distinct tomato type recognized for its heart shape and good yield.

These seeds result in large, heart-shaped tomatoes with a balanced flavour. They fit into many dishes with ease.

Oxheart tomatoes prefer sunny, warm locations but can manage in cooler spots with some attention. They're also resilient against several standard tomato pests and diseases.

For cooking, Oxheart tomatoes are versatile, suitable for salads, sandwiches, and sauces. They supply vitamins A and C, plus other key nutrients.

Plant these seeds in an area with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. As they grow, support like stakes or cages could be needed. Regular watering is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
